It was a big day on Saturday for Sweden’s Niklas “Lena900” Astedt (lead image) in the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) at PokerStars.
Not only did the Swede nail down his second career WCOOP title after finishing on top of a tough field in the WCOOP-39-H: $5,200 NLHE [Progressive KO, High Roller] but also put himself in a great position to win a third title on Sunday by heading into the final day of the WCOOP-44-H: $2,100 NLHE with a sizeable chip lead with just 20 players remaining.
Yuri “theNERDguy” Dzivielevski was on two final tables on Saturday but was denied his third WCOOP title this festival after not finding gold in either event.
Meanwhile, Tobias “Senkel92” Leknes impressively snagged his fifth WCOOP title and Christopher “lissi stinkt” Frank won his second on Saturday. In addition, five-time SCOOP champion Talal “raidalot” Shakerchi finally got the WCOOP monkey off his back after claiming his first title on Saturday.
